HELP! HELP! HELP

I hope someone out there can solve my mysterious problem. I have
tried everything imaginable, even paid $35 to Microsoft to help me,
but they were not able to figure out this problem: Here is the
problem:
I recently created a new database in Access 2002. I took data from an

Anyone help would be greatly appreciated....

Eh? I would've thought MS would charge a lot more.

This happens to only one record at a time then? Is it the entire record? Or just
one field in the record? Is it a memo field? When you say Japanese characters do
you mean it's just all kinds of scrambled characters of some sort or what really
looks like Oriental characters? What version of Access? Is this only on new data or
records that have been in the database for a while? Were they just updated?
Assuming you can somehow know this.
What happens when you move to that record? Does Access puke and die? Any strange
messages?
Above said I would suspect some corruption. And that the something is scrambling the
packets going down the wire. Does your building have flaky power? Have you tried
replacing your network hub/switch? Do you have older PCs? I wonder if one of them
has a slightly flaky network card or bad driver.
For other possible causes see the Access Corruption Causes page at my website.
However I rather doubt that OpLocks is causing this problem. It's something
intermittently flaky which can be very hard to track down.

thankx for you repsonse. It only happens to one record at a time, and
it happens to several fields, no consistent pattern when it happens,
it only happens on updates. And yes it is either japanese or chinese
characters, not sure which one, that is what is the most puzzling
thing. running this on access 2002, and it has happened to old
records that were imported from access 97 and new records added in the
access 2002 database. When i move to that record i see the record in
the table, but sometimes it tells me it cannot find the reocrd. It is
a very strange problem. We have not had this problem on any other
access databases, its only this database. Thankx for any help in
advance.

Is that the exact text of the error message? Could it be ""Search Key Was Not Found
in Any Record" or
This is really sounding like some network packets got scrambled in transit. IE
corruption.
This could also be one system having a different version of Jet than the others or
not all the Access patches.
What I've done is use the various API calls available and am checking the version
number and date/time of a crucial dll, msjetxx.dll, to ensure it matches what I have
on my system. See the tips page at my website for more details including sample
code: Verify Appropriate Jet Service Pack is installed

Ah, interesting. Is there anything unique about the computers who use that
databases? One which uses only that database and no other?

Help, Help, HelpAs you can probably gather im in need of help. I started a basic JAVA
course a week ago as it seems like a very interesting subject.
The problem in having is with the IDE we have been asked to use. We are
using JCreator, but in order for it to work, we are required to install the
Java software development kit and a class library which comes with the
course book called avi with is a audio visual interface library which is
supposed to make it easier for us to learn the fundimentals of JAVA without
having to worry about the input/output.
Anyways, I have installed the JAVA SDK from SUN website and instaled the
JCreator IDE but it seems to have a problem finding the avi class library as
when i run a basic "Hello World" program as a test, the following error
occurs when i compile the program:
bad class file: C:\JavaClasses\Window.class
class file contains wrong class: avi.Window
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the
classpath.
Window screen = new Window("example1.java","bold","red",72);
^
1 error
Process completed.
We where told to create a directory called JavaClass on the root directory
and set the classpath to it. The other problem is the book tells you how to
set the classpath for the SDK and the avi class library for windows 98 but
im running XP so have kind of guessed on how to set the class path.
Anyone got any ideas as i'm itching to jump into programming in JAVA but

HELP! HELP! HELP!We are currently running R83 v3.1m (33 user) on an old 200 Mhz
Pentium with 16Mb Mem and 2.x gif HD (the actual partition is
smaller)
We have run this for a number of years without ANY significant
problems.
Last week (just as my family was in the middle of "the move from
Hell") the system decides to take a major dump. A bad link of some
sort in the ABS area.
THEN - the systems disks have disappeared. After much screaming and
gnashing of teeth I got the system running again.
OH! did I mention that the previous evenings file save tape was bad?
Anyhow, the bottom line is that I REALLY need a set of 33 user 3.1m
disks.
Any Ideas/Help? I do have a 25 user version of r83 v3.1 (no 'm') with
a monolith loader diskette (5.25) but it doesn't seem to hook up with
the PICK diskettes (just keeps rebooting)
If I can get a sister machine running with the 25 user - does anyone
have any trick to bump it to 33 user. There must be just a byte or 2
in the ABS area that regulates # of users.
Again - Help! Help! Help!

PS: The reason we haven't upgraded is that I am using a 4GL called
Envision that was written a long time ago and about half of it was

I'd get busy rewriting the software if I were you. If anyone actually has

Help Help HelpHello,
I am a reluctant user of the website ntsearch.com. I accidentally
download a Java program called "dict" from an ebook website to my XP
and now every English words that I read from my computer has got a
link with your web. I found it very frustrating when I noticed all the
chinese characters I read from the web now become loads of question
marks. I think it has a link with the program that I accidentally
downloaded from that ebook website. How can I remove the so called
"dict" program and other Java Scripts from my computer?
This is very urgent and please answer my question as soon as you can.
Thanks for your help.

Have you started it from a DOS window (command line) to see if it reports any error messages to screen??
What versions - Clipper/Linker etc...

Re: HELP HELP HELP!!!Hi Elena and everyone requesting help,
Everyone on SAS-L either requests or provides help, so a subject line like HELP is completely meaningless. And so is a subject like SIMPLE NEWBIE QUESTION; first of all a newbie would not be able to decide the question to be simple (and whether a question or problem is simple or not does not matter at all), secondly questions are mostly posed by newbies (and being a newbie does not help getting a question answered more quickly) and thirdly it concerns questions which are being asked (that is trivial, but which question?).

You don't say at what value of x you wish to
know y. So I'll assume that you need y at x = 0.
y = 0

Don't use Access help for this, use VBA help.
Open any code window (or press Ctrl + G) and click on Help there.

helpIs there an easier way to find what group a particular set of
customizations can be found than (1) finding the source and looking
for the defcust (2) going thru every top level group looking for it
(hoping it isn't at level 3).
For example I want to change how much scroll occurs when I move my
mouse wheel. I do C-h k <wheel> and see:
Scroll the window in which EVENT occurred by `mouse-wheel-scroll-amount'.
Great. I know it's changable. But not how. So I go to `mouse-wheel-scroll-amount' and see:
mouse-wheel-scroll-amount's value is 4
Documentation:
*Number of lines to scroll per click of the mouse wheel.
Defined in `term/w32-win'.
I now know what it is but still don't know if it's in customize
someplace and if so, where.
